Pro Prep Tips

Make extra quinoa and store in a reusable zip top bag in the freezer in portions of your choice for up to 2 months, or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It makes adding this versatile and nutritious ingredient to any meal, easy!  

Chop, rinse and spin your greens and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days with a damp reusable paper towel. I've even been able to keep greens fresh for up to a week this way!
